Kinnie Starr hails from Vancouver, British Columbia. She earned a degree in women’s studies and fine arts at Queen’s University in Kingston. She has since used this, along with her feminist viewpoint, as a background theme in her music. At a women’s music festival, Kinnie took a few minutes to get the attention of everyone. She said, “I don’t know if people are into it or not, but I notice women seem to say ‘I’m sorry’ a lot. So I was wondering if you’d all be into saying ‘I’m not sorry’ like, let’s say it 10 times.” The audience obliged her.
In 1996, she released her first album, Tidy. It was received very well for an indepenent artist, and received critical acclaim from some reviewers for women’s magazines, such as Inga Muscio for Wig Magazine. “Kinnie is going to be a huge star. Because she is so emotionally real, vulnerable, articulate, talented, and loving—things many people fear greatly in themselves, and thus, look for in others—people are going to glorify her in an insanely unrealistic way. “
She was soon after courted by Mercury Records, and signed a deal. She proceeded to tour for two years promoting Tidy, mainly in Canada, but also in the United States and Europe, with her band, handsome boyz 3. Her shows definitely got peoples’ attention. She is very spontaneous, often chatting and joking with the crowd, and encouraging them to participate. Her early shows became known after she had audience members jumping up on stage and talking about their sex lives for a free t-shirt.

i agree with the comments below [daHeia & someday1soon]; perhaps Kinnie's last.fm bio needs an edit? Why compare her to Alanis when she could just as easily be compared to the secret lovechild of Gabriel Dumont and Marcel Duchamp?

No offense meant, but who in their right mind would compare Kinnie Starr to Alanis Morissette?? What do they/their music have in common? That they're women? Canadian? Weird...

Just pointing out the fact that almost all of her Similar artists are lesbians. And I definitely don't think she sounds like The Murmurs.
